About Charlton Raceway

Charlton Raceway, on the western edge of Toowoomba in Queensland, is better known today as the Hi-Tec Oils Speedway (formerly the Toowoomba Speedbowl). It is a dirt-oval speedway — a clay-surfaced circuit hosting fast, sideways oval racing rather than a 4WD or off-road course. A well-run community venue with clean amenities, it draws enthusiastic family crowds for a packed program of speedway classes, plus the occasional demolition derby for something lively and different. This is a spectator venue: you come to watch the racing from the stands, not to drive yourself.
